Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

At the same time, after all, the teachers in my own academy are all real talents and learning, but they can't make their own decisions for the two of them, so Lin Ruhai made the decision, and sent a letter back to Beijing along with the good news, asking Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng what they meant.

Hearing that both brothers had passed the examination of scholar, Mother Jia and the others were overjoyed. They wanted to offer incense to their ancestors, and they were busy rewarding all the servants in the mansion for three months' monthly money, and they also asked people to go outside to give alms.

All of a sudden, everyone in the capital knew about it.

Mrs. Dou agrees deeply with what Lin Ruhai and Jia Min said in the letter, and persuades Jia Amnesty to agree to Jia Lian's request.

Jia Amnesty didn't care much about fame at first, but when he learned that his son had passed the exam, he jumped three feet high with joy. He repeatedly called my son a success, and thought that Lin Ruhai would live in Jinling, and Gusu was Lin Ruhai's ancestral home, so he nodded in agreement. I sent a letter to Lin Ruhai.This time without Mrs. Dou's reminder, he rummaged through the box, took his own ladder, and prepared a very rich gift to send.As for Mrs. Dou, seeing that he agreed, she went to secretly investigate the family she had chosen in Jia Min's letter, so as to choose a wife for Jia Lian from them.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were not at ease, and their mother was worried when their son traveled thousands of miles. After all, they were worried about Jia Zhu's health, so they had to send a letter to pick Jia Zhu back, saying that they had chosen a family for Jia Zhu and would be engaged, so it was not easy to let He hangs out.

This time and again, when the letter was delivered to the Lin family, it was already the end of the new year.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min sighed secretly after reading the letter from the Bi family. They were just uncles and aunts. But at the age of 14, Lin Ruhai passed the examination as a scholar. I think Lin Ruhai passed the examination at this age. Now that he is the number one scholar in high school, he is promoted every step of the way. He is promoted every three years, and every two grades. Therefore, Jia Zhu has to be in front of them. Only then can rest assured.

Therefore, the couple could only do good deeds, sending Jia Lian to study in Gusu while sending Jia Zhu back to Beijing.

Jia Zhu was very disappointed, and enviously watched Jia Lian go to Gusu happily. Seeing this, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min softened their hearts. Therefore, he first sent someone to send a letter back to the capital, and instead stayed with Jia Zhu for a few months. During these few months, Jia Min went back to Gusu and took him with him.

Jia Zhu was overjoyed immediately, and was very grateful to Jia Min and his wife in her heart. Her energy gradually improved, and she was actually much healthier than when she came.

In this way, Jia Zhu was able to return to the capital in March and April of the following year.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were really worried. They invited An back to Rongxi Hall from Jia's mother's room. As soon as they sat down, they reprimanded him. Mrs. Wang said: "Well, why don't you go home after passing the exam? We hang on day and night."

Jia Zheng also looked at Jia Zhu sternly, somewhat displeased.

Jia Zhu pondered for a long while, then hurriedly replied with tears in his eyes: "My son is not filial, Mr. and Mrs. Lao are thinking about it, but I am really tired during the exam. It is better to rest at my aunt's house for a long time. It is already the end of the year when my parents write letters." , the weather was cold and the water was freezing, so it was difficult to go, so I had to stay for several months, and hurried back when the river melted."

He said this after discussing with Jia Lian. He beat all the servants who followed him and promised some money. After the exam, he was really uncomfortable for a few days. It is also true that the river was frozen, so there is no need to worry. They broke the news in front of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

When Mrs. Wang heard that he had been ill once, she hurriedly called to her to look him up and down, and said, "My son, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Zhu said with a smile: "The exam is exhausting, so I have this catastrophe. Please worry about it. My son is now well, and my aunt is very dedicated to seeking medical treatment for me. On the other hand, Lian's second brother practiced riding and shooting since he was a child, and his body is very strong. Very, I don’t feel tired at all, my aunt told me that I have to practice and practice, and I have to wear single clothes for the exam, otherwise, it’s hard to resist the cold air in the exam room.”

Jia Zheng nodded thoughtfully, "That's very reasonable, you should study tomorrow."

Jia Zhu was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Because Jia Zhu said that she was tired and sick in Jiangnan, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang couldn't spit out the blame, not to mention that Jia Zhu's No.3 high school was better than Jia Lian, and she felt that she had a bright face, and then said After a few words, let him go down to rest.

Jia Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, he stayed in Jiangnan for more than half a year, his parents let it go, and agreed to practice riding and archery with Jia Lian, which was a surprise.After returning to the room for a while, the servants came to congratulate her again. Hearing that the nurses said that her parents had married the daughter of Li Shouzhong's family of Jijiu of the Imperial College as his wife, Jia Zhu blushed unconsciously, and couldn't recover for a long time.

Li Shouzhong was also from Jinling. Jia Zheng admired his talent, and felt that as the son of the Imperial College, he was full of peaches and plums. It was obvious that he would help Jia Zhu after he became an official, so he solemnly proposed to marry him.Li Shouzhong knew that the Rongguo Mansion was also a family of poetry and calligraphy. Although Jia Zhu was a child of a family, he was not a dandy, and entered school at a young age. He was naturally very satisfied, and the two families hit it off immediately.

Mrs. Dou thought that Jia Zhu was older, and Jia Lian married two years later than him, so she still made a careful investigation, and usually socialized, and she often saw the appearance of the daughters of these families, their speech, behavior and so on.

Others know that Jia Zhu and Jia Lian have passed the examination as scholars, and they are born in a wealthy family. They have a bright future, but Jia Zhu has already been engaged to Miss Li's family last year, and there is only one Jia Lian left. Have you heard about it, and several wives hinted that Mrs. Dou's own girl has reached the age and so on.

Mrs. Dou knew that Jia Lian was very popular now, and even the Wang family couldn't help asking Mrs. Wang to talk again, but she declined again. After hearing everyone's inquiries, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Our Lian'er is 13 years old this year. We haven't made a marriage yet. Our old lady and the master originally said that in the past two years, taking advantage of Lian'er's passing the exam, I was more happy than ever, and looked for a good relative who knew everything about Lian'er. Fortunately, although Lian'er was a bit mischievous, she looked good The talent is not bad, but it is not considered to have insulted the daughter of the family."

After hearing this, someone laughed and said, "Madam's words are too modest."

Not long after Mrs. Dou came in, Jia Amnesty asked for an imperial order for her. It was the wife of a first-class general. People, after a few years, they are still at the sixth rank.

Mrs. Dou discussed with Mother Jia, and they chose the young lady of the Chen family. Miss Chen is 11 years old this year. Mrs. Chen is kind and generous, and Ms. Chen has been able to read and write since she was a child. She has a steady and peaceful disposition. She has seen it before when she was socializing. , his mother's family is also a big family with many in-laws.

Not only that, Mrs. Dou also took a fancy to Miss Chen's two elder brothers. She is the youngest daughter and the only daughter. Both elder brothers have passed the examination of scholar, with impeccable character and talent. They are now studying in the Imperial College.

Mrs. Dou chooses a wife for Jia Lian based on the right family, then the character of the lady, and finally the disposition of the parents and family members, whether it will cause trouble to the upper body, so she chooses and chooses, but Miss Chen is the best, since she chooses from Jia Min's list , the Li family was also satisfied, so Mrs. Dou revealed some meaning to Mrs. Chen.

It just so happened that Mrs. Chen and Jia Min had some sort of friendship on weekdays. Mrs. Chen had been instructed by Li Xun. After some inquiries, the couple also took a fancy to Jia Lian. Master Chen met Jia Lian again, and knew that this person was not like his father, so he didn't need Jia Min to negotiate a marriage, but just revealed a little information to Li's mother, and the relationship was formed.

This matter will be proper until the end of August.

At the same time, Jia Lian had rushed back from Jiangnan.

He studied there for a year in Gusu. There were rich and noble sons as well as poor students. He experienced a lot of things that are hard to see in the capital. He was much more stable. When he came, he didn't send someone to Beijing to deliver the letter in advance, so he went back to the east courtyard first, and he was a little surprised to see that there was no one in the courtyard.

The servant girl beside Mrs. Dou was startled when she saw him come back, and said, "Why didn't Second Master send someone first when he came back?"

Jia Lian waved his hands and said, "Where is the master and wife? Why aren't you at home?" He expected that Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Dou would be at home today, and wanted to surprise them, but he missed it.

The servant girl hurriedly replied: "My wife got a box of things early in the morning. When I opened it, it was full of writing paper, one after another, densely filled with words. I don't know what I said to the master, so the master and his wife went to the old lady. I went over there, I don't know why, the master's face is not as angry as usual."

When Jia Lian heard this, he was full of doubts. He couldn't think for a long time, and said, "What writing paper? Where is it?"

The servant girl smiled and said, "I sent them to the old lady."

Jia Lian became more and more suspicious, and hurried back to his room to change clothes. Previously, he had been living in a small courtyard behind the screen wall between Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother's room. Since Mrs. Dou entered the door, he took him back to the east courtyard and monopolized Jia. A room in the parlor study.

After tidying up, Jia Lian hurried to Jiamu's courtyard by car. As soon as he entered, he saw that there was no one in the courtyard, and the doors and windows were closed. Only the thrushes and other birds of various colors under the corridor were still there, and there were some faintly crying from inside. He walked to the door and was about to shout loudly to go in, but he heard his father panting and said: "Mother, let's see how to take care of it. The son is incompetent, so I can't control it. I only sigh that the son is honest and stable." To live a stable life, such a serious crime has been added for no reason."

Jia Mu sat on the couch, her face sinking like water.In front of Mrs. Jia's was the box that Madam Dou's servant girl told Jia Lian. The so-called box is actually just a one-foot-square box. Mother didn't know, what was inside was an IOU for interest!

It turned out that Mrs. Dou had been paying attention to Mrs. Wang's lending of interest money. After planning for a year or two, she got some evidence. After she informed Jia She, Jia She immediately became furious.He immediately wanted to ask Mrs. Wang what happened, but instead, Mrs. Dou took over and said: "We don't care about the family, even if the second wife is wrong, so what? What's more, if we expose this matter, we will be ashamed. It’s actually the old lady who decides what’s important.”

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty sneered and said, "It's not that you don't know how the old lady favors the second wife, and how can she deal with it fairly?"

Mrs. Dou said, "How does the master want to deal with it fairly?"

Jia She was speechless at the moment, and when he thought about it carefully, just as Mrs. Dou said, she really didn't know what to do. Mrs. Wang's doing this matter was naturally Mrs. Wang's fault. The letter was written in the name of Jia Zheng, but before that, he also wrote in the name of Jia Amnesty. Even if it was not what Jia Amnesty wanted, it was because he, the master of the Rongguo Mansion, did not manage well. Sin, I first got a charge of lax family management.

Mrs. Dou sighed, secretly hated Mrs. Wang for her boldness, and said in her mouth: "If it weren't for the fact that I have controlled the master's posts these few years, I'm afraid I would still use the master's name. If so, I have used the master before. I have also used the master's famous post, so this matter must not be disclosed, so as not to fall on the master."

Jia Amnesty was angry and furious, and said: "What do you think should be done?" But he couldn't help being very grateful to Mrs. Dou in his heart.

Mrs. Dou said decisively: "Tell the old lady, even if the old lady is biased towards the second master, you and I know about the matter, there must be a regulation. If the old lady cares, it is very good, if not, we will use it." With some effort, first smooth out the case of the second wife taking over the lawsuit in the name of the master."

Although Jia Amnesty is stupid and incompetent, he is superior to everyone after all, and there is still something he can do about it, not to mention that those things were indeed not his fault, even if he confessed to the saint, he could still get a forgiveness, but he was afraid of hurting the whole family, so he dared not Get the word out about it.

Jia She said sullenly: "If the old lady finds out, it will be nothing more than reprimanding the second wife and smoothing over the matter."

Why doesn't Mrs. Dou know this truth?I had no choice but to say: "What else can we do? Anyway, we only want to be fair to ourselves. At least let the old lady take care of the second wife. It's not because of the housekeeper who is looking for the second wife, or let me be the housekeeper. I don't want to take on this drudgery." What's the matter! Master listen to me, no matter what the old lady plans, let's be more careful in the future, even if the second wife reverts to her old ways

It has nothing to do with us. "

Jia She smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid that someone will impeach me and charge me with lax family management."

Mrs. Dou pondered for a while, and then said: "Now that our Lian'er has grown up, we only hope that Lian'er will become a talent. If there is a day, the master may wish to speak up and explain the fact that we are not in charge of the house, and the so-called head of the house, the master. People only exist in name only. Even if you really commit a crime, it’s not a big sin to run the family laxly. After all, the master is the uncle next door, how can he control his sister-in-law? It’s just being reprimanded. Let’s just don’t do anything harmful If anything, there is a chance of survival.”

Mrs. Dou is familiar with the legal codes, and knows that as long as Jia She does not do those things, even if the Rongguo Mansion is eventually ransacked by the second wife, Jia She will not be convicted.

Mrs. Dou found only Mrs. Wang's profiteering and champerty lawsuits. There are many more. Who knows if Mrs. Wang has done anything more sinful than this.East Court has its own restraints, servants dare not rely on their power to do evil, on the contrary, many servants from Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion bully males and females, run rampant in the village, if they are not afraid of Jia's power, someone would have impeached them.

After the couple discussed it, they simply put their hands aside and handed it over to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia was shocked when she learned the ins and outs, and now she heard what Jia She said, even if she wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb about the family affairs, she couldn't do it. Intend?"

Jia Amnesty evaded the matter completely, saying: "Everything is decided by the mother, and the son dare not speak nonsense."

When Jia Lian heard this from outside, he didn't know what he was talking about, so he hurriedly said loudly: "The grandson has come to pay respects to the ancestor."

Hearing Jia Lian's voice, Jia She and his wife were surprised and delighted. Before Mrs. Dou could speak, Jia She turned around first, walked over quickly and opened the curtain, holding Jia Lian's shoulder with both hands, looked up and down, and said incessantly: " I've lost weight, I've lost a lot of weight, and I've finally come back, why don't you send someone to tell me first?" His face was full of joy.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "The schedule was a bit urgent, so no one sent a letter. When I got home, I saw that the master and wife were not there. I came to my ancestors, so my son came to say hello to the ancestors and the master and his wife. Unexpectedly, there was no one in the courtyard. , I have to inform my son himself."

While speaking, he helped Jia She go in.

Seeing Jia Amnesty like this, he understood that he was fighting for the old man and hadn't come back for more than a year, so he was more amiable than before.

There was no one in front of Jia's mother. When she heard Jia Lian's sudden arrival, she had already ordered Mrs. Dou to cover the box. When she saw Jia Lian coming in, she showed a smile on her face and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year. I've grown more and more. It seems that I have grown a lot." You father, son, mother and son have not seen each other for a long time, let's go back first, I am also tired, when you go out, ask the maids to come in."

Jia Amnesty sneered secretly, knowing that Mother Jia wanted to hide this matter from everyone, he and Mrs. Dou planned to leave it alone, so he took his wife and children and resigned to Mother Jia indifferently. The family went home by car.

But when Jia Mu waited for them to leave, the maids came in and immediately said to Yuanyang, "Go and call the second wife."

The maids around Jia Mu, big and small, were close friends with Jia Zheng, and they were all far away from Jia She. Jia She was really too lustful, and everyone knew it. What Mrs. Dou said here made the old lady so annoyed, she didn't dare to think about it, so she hurriedly responded and went to Rongxi Hall in person.

Mrs. Wang was talking to Yuan Chun, and when Yuan Chun came over, she heard her say: "I don't know what the old man and the old lady are doing here today. As soon as they entered the house, they asked me and the maids to go out, and the maids stayed far away. I'm here to say hello to my wife."

Mrs. Wang didn't know the details, so she didn't care too much. She only asked her daughter about her health, and asked the needleworkers, especially about her piano skills.

Yuan Chun is good at playing the qin, and he laughed and said that he has benefited a lot. Before he could say a word, Yuanyang suddenly came over. The servant who served the elders was more respectable than the young master. After that, Fang asked him why he came, and he was surprised when he heard that Jia Mu called Mrs. Wang over.

Yuanyang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The old lady is waiting for the wife to pass."

After hearing this, Yuan Chun asked, "Have the Eldest Master and Eldest Wife gone back?"

Yuan Duck nodded, Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, it's time for me to go back to accompany my grandmother. I'm going there with my wife. It's good to be a companion on the way."

Yuanyang hesitated for a moment, feeling that Mother Jia's anger was different today, so she said half-confidently to the mother and daughter: "The old lady is very angry today, as if there is something important, Tete told me to just call The second wife is going, so the eldest girl might as well wait, the wife has gone first, if there is nothing wrong, the eldest girl will go back."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang asked Yuan Chun to wait here, changed her clothes, and went to Jiamu's room.
